To burn a .bin file with a corresponding .cue file of the same prefix: cdrecord --scanbus this will determine the address of the cd\dvd burner it will be in the form 0,0,0 with the device name beside it Example output of above command: 0,0,0 0) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD2000JD-00H' '08.0' Disk 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * Then use cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 8 --eject filename.cue if this does not work, try cdrdao write --device ATA:0,0,0 --speed 8 --eject filename.cue viola you have just burn your first .bin file to cd/dvd The speed will depend on your particular burner. I have tried this myself and it did manage to auto-adjust burn speed for me. Note: in place of "ATA:0,0,0" or "0,0,0" you may need to put the device name ie "/dev/hdc" note not all versions of cdrecord or cdrdao are compatible with dvd burners.
